I think the characters would start to feel thinner if all they did was keep making Avengers stuff. (Which I know isn't exactly what you're suggesting.)

[truxillogical]

That's a legitimate point. It's part of what makes the shared universe of movies so appealing--you can develop the heart and nuance of a character in their own movie to bring even more to the scenes in a group movie. Like how Tony's reaction to Coulson's death in Avengers is understandable enough if it's the only movie you've seen, but if you've seen Iron Man, you know Tony's already got one friend dying to give him a chance on his conscience, so it enhances the movie itself.

No different from comicbooks, really.

[intrigueing]

Oh definitely agree about the lead-up. The problem, though, is that it IS different after the team-up as opposed to before -- it's harder in a movie than it is in the comics, and the comics already need a bit of handwaving or complicated, timewasting explanations for things like "um, so, why doesn't Reed Richards just sell all these fantastic inventions to the public so this shit doesn't happen anymore?" and "couldn't she just ask her 20 other friends for help with problem X?" (this is where secret identities really come in handy in the comics, imo ;))

Like, if they make a Hulk movie, it'll be hard to get the right amount of angst and isolation and dread and helplessness and self-reliance needed to make an effective movie now that Bruce is pals with a mega-powerful billionaire corporate giant who can give him every single resource he needs, and on good terms with the director of a shadowy government agency who can mow down anyone who tries to mess with him.

And on a more personal level....look, Tony's my favorite character in the MCU, but his arc in The Avengers had a bit of a "pack your bags and go home everyone, the awesomeness just blew the roof off and fried your instruments" vibe of finality and satisfying-ness that puts a strain on my expectations for future solo Iron Man movies. It was a bit too good, not to mention heavily, heavily geared towards teamwork. I'd be more than happy to just have him cameo here and there throughout the sequels until the next Avengers movie, tbh. Or at least have him introduce Hank and Jan new superheroes instead of just having to do his own thing.
